What’s the proper maintenance with a disc brake system?
• Flush all old brake fluid out of your vehicles system. • Refill your brake system with new (fresh) better performing brake fluid • Check for leaks by closely examining the entire brake system. • Check fluid level and for fluid leaks on a regular basis. • Bleed each caliper on a regular basis. • Check pad thickness on a regular basis. • Replace any pads that are worn down below recommended thickness. • Check for debris or buildup of any kind in the caliper that could prevent the pads from extending and/or retracting properly. • Also check for any burrs or dings on the exposed area of piston to prevent damage of any internal seals during piston retraction. • Make sure all brake hoses are connected properly to the caliper and are tight enough to prevent separation from the caliper. • Check to make sure all bolts and screws are torqued (tight) properly. • Regularly check condition of rotor (cracks, deep scoring, odd markings, etc…). • Make sure rotor is securely attached to the hub, and
